Summary = Long Island – Local business person and entrepreneur,
Sheila Minkel, of Westhampton, NY has produced “The Hampton’s
Undressed Calendar.” The glossy, high-end wall calendar is
the first of its kind for the Hampton’s area. “The Hampton’s
Undressed” is an 18-month calendar spanning July 05 through
December 06. Each month contains a photograph of one of the many
special towns, places, and faces of the Hamptons.
Press Release
Body = The images were shot during the winter, summer, spring, and
fall to represent the flavor of the Hamptons year-round. Minkel,
a real estate agent plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from
the calendar sales to the “Southampton Champions for Change”,
which benefits select charitable organizations both locally and
nationally. Additionally, all charitable organizations can purchase
the calendar for half-price and sell it as a fundraiser for their
organization.
The photographs
were taken by Rafael Fuchs, whose photography has provided instrumental
roles for dozens of prestigious international corporations, fashion
and life style magazines, as well as Hollywood icons and celebrities.
Rafael has earned
many honors including the 1997,1998, and 1999 “Award of Excellence"
by Communication Arts.
“I wanted
to make this product for both locals and tourists to enjoy,”
says Minkel. “It doubles as a fashionable souvenir product
for summer visitors and as a functional calendar for locals to own
because has an extensive listing of upcoming Hamptons events and
dates. Photographer Rafael Fuchs notes that this is a decidedly
appropriate gift for someone fond of the area because “the
calendar accurately portrays several the historical significance
of several landmarks while conveying the unique local culture.”
“I believe
there is a strong possibility that the first ever Hampton’s
Calendar may become sought after collectable-art,” says Robert
Gettling, Owner of The Dock House Restaurant which is located on
Long Wharf in Sag Harbor area. “It’s beautiful, functional,
and the first of its kind--plus it benefits charity.” I also
think it will benefit the area by showing people just how each of
the beautiful areas in the Hamptons really looks like.
Special limited-edition
prints signed by the photographer will be sold alongside of the
calendar on-line at www.hamptonsundressed.com and at select retailers
in the Hamptons this summer for $20.00. Deductible charitable contributions
